Genes affected

POLE (HGNC:9177): (DNA polymerase epsilon, catalytic subunit) This gene encodes the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase epsilon. The enzyme is involved in DNA repair and chromosomal DNA replication. Mutations in this gene have been associated with colorectal cancer 12 and facial dysmorphism, immunodeficiency, livedo, and short stature. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013]

ACMG classification

Verdict is Benign. Variant got -13 ACMG points.

• BP4: Computational evidence support a benign effect (BayesDel_noAF=-0.85).
• BP6: Variant 12-132624679-C-A is Benign according to our data. Variant chr12-132624679-C-A is described in ClinVar as [Conflicting_classifications_of_pathogenicity]. Clinvar id is 380640.We mark this variant Likely_benign, oryginal submissions are: {Likely_benign=4, Uncertain_significance=1}.
• BS1: Variant frequency is greater than expected in population amr. gnomad4 allele frequency = 0.000322 (49/152344) while in subpopulation AMR AF= 0.00189 (29/15308). AF 95% confidence interval is 0.00136. There are 0 homozygotes in gnomad4. There are 31 alleles in male gnomad4 subpopulation. Median coverage is 33. This position pass quality control queck.
• BS2: High Homozygotes in GnomAdExome4 at 2 AD,AR gene
